Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see
Who knows?
Is this the start of something wonderful and new?
The lyrics "City of stars, are you shining just for me?" conveys a sense of awe and wonder regarding the world, and the possibility of something new and exciting. It's almost as if the singer is asking the city if its brilliance is intended for him. The line "There's so much that I can't see" carries a similar sentiment: the singer is searching for something beyond himself, yet he remains not wholly unaware of the potential for more.

City of stars
This place is like a city of stars.
Are you shining just for me?
Are these stars shining only for me or for everyone else too?
There's so much that I can't see
I can't see everything that this city has to offer.
Who knows?
It's hard to tell at this point.
Is this the start of something wonderful and new?
Could this be the beginning of something truly great and exciting?
Or one more dream that I cannot make true?
Or is this just another one of my many dreams that will never become a reality?

City of stars,
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars,
There's so much that i can't see.
Who knows
I felt it from the first embrace
I shared with you.
That now, Our dreams,
They've finally come true.
City of stars,
Just one thing everybody wants.
There in the bars
and through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants.
It's love
Yes, all we're looking for
is love from someone else
A rush
A glance
A touch
A dance
To look in somebody's eyes,
To light up the skies,
To open the world and send me reeling,
A voice that says i'll be here
and you'll be alright
I don't care if I know just where I will go
Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling
And rat-a-tat of my heart
I think I want it to stay
City of stars,
Are you shinning just for me?
City of stars,
You never shined so brightly

That now our dreams may finally come true

Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart

A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright
I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart.....
These lyrics are just really amazing.

Sorry to hear all the sad stories. My girlfriend and I watched this movie together online while we were 8500 miles away from each other back in 2016. We kept our belief and hope through long distance relationships. Magically, we made it out to our wedding after 4 years falling in love. Now, she is my spouse and mother of my son. We still got a special feeling for this song. Hope you are all strong believers!
